Flying Up Day
Students will participate in Flying Up Day today, Thursday, June 8th, to meet their teachers for next school year. Please note that classroom placement is subject to change based on new enrollments over the summer.
Fifth Grade Recognition Ceremony
If you are attending the 5th Grade Recognition Ceremony on Friday morning, here are a couple things you should know:
- Your names MUST be on the guest list. People who are not on the list cannot attend the ceremony.
- You will need to have your ID in the system so a badge may be printed for you. Anyone who does not have a badge will have to visit the school office before being allowed to go into the cafe--and risks missing part of the ceremony in a long line. If you have not had a badge printed for you this year, you may stop by the school office anytime today (Thursday) from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM with your ID. The school office will also open from 7:00 to 9:00 AM tomorrow (Friday) morning to scan IDs.
Lost and Found
Is your child missing something? Westowne's Lost and Found is now located in the cafe/gym lobby. The Lost and Found items, including many coats and jackets, will be donated to charity after June 23rd.
Please have your students check now to see if they've left something at school.
